Brandon B.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I met with Leanna at a time where I was experiencing life-altering events without a plan or direction in how to confront or overcome them. She’s been the guiding light I always needed, but never knew how to find. Her extensive experience along with her multifaceted approach in treating hurdles with frameworks and tools have helped me uncover the meaning behind these experiences. This has allowed me to shed the unnecessary skin of my past I needed to let go of. Change my behaviors and continue with a clearer heart and mindset. I spent the past year speaking to multiple therapists, and even a psychiatrist with the goal to better understand myself and the root of my issues. To no avail, I felt like I was hitting a wall until now. I no longer feel that way because of Leanna.
She is my cheat code.
